Guess we could consider this a “Flashback Friday” post, too. There’s T-Man today (above) and below when he first came online. “​Hello! Please consider my cat Teddy (a.k.a. Theodorable) for Nosevember. Everyone who meets him comments on his dark nose even though his fur around his nose & mouth is white. It is a prime Booping target for sure. Thank you! Stephanie Lee.”

(That, plus this email didn’t come in until earlier this morning.) To make up for that, we got a LOT of Beans for you.

“Dear Cute Overload: My polydactyl cat, Tilli, should be a should be a shoe-in for Toesday, she thinks. But she also proudly offers her tricolor nose–peenk, dark peenk, and black–for Nosevember. I adopted her from the Tri-County Humane Society in St. Cloud, Minnesota! The photos were taken by me..you can credit me as JK. I am all over those Terms and Conditions. Thank you for the site, which I check multiple times a day.”

The time is close at hand
For Trick Or Treaters across the land
When Halloween Day turns into Night
You’re more than likely to get a fright
So when you’re out and about…
Always know exactly where you’re at
Because when you least expect it
You might just find a black cat.

(Of course- if you want Halloween poetry, no one did it better than Vincent Price.)

Time for another edition of Headline THIS!, to celebrate National Cat Day! Cats have spent eons observing, napping, pondering, napping, and taking notes about the human condition.

The result is You Need More Sleep: Advice From Cats, a guide to maintaining a successful, self‐centered, catlike existence. This new book will show you how to live the good life by manipulating the world around you to cater to your every whim.
